“I am Spartacus.” A trailer for Be Here Now, a documentary about Spartacus star Andy Whitfield’s battled with cancer, has been released.

Whitfield played the lead role of Spartacus in the first season of the Starz series.

After filming the first season of Spartacus, Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in early 2010. The Welsh actor immediately sought out treatment and was declared cancer-free a few months later, only to have it relapse. Whitfield passed away in 2011.

The documentary chronicles Whitfield’s diagnosis and treatment. It is set for limited release in April.
